tuesday. in florida, they're holding their primary two weeks from now. we have breaking news in that joe biden won virginia and we just got word he won north carolina. let's look at the big picture here. it looks like the national democratic committee said tom steyer, amy klobuchar, pete buttigieg, you're out. thank you. we've got to put the support behind joe. >> that would make a good hollywood scene. the problem is you really don't have a democratic national committee that's powerful enough to do what you talked about. those days are gone. that's one of the reasons bernie sanders is doing so well. but there's no denying there's a split within the democratic party. you have the establishment and

the inspirationals of the bernie movement. that's the tug-of-war you're seeing. what you're seeing is more traditional style democrats like pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar. they're saying we don't necessarily have the votes to make a difference. joe biden, we know you. you can. the reasons why they're doing it is that bernie sanders says it. it's more than an election for him and his troops. this is a movement. it's a change of america fundamentally how it operates. that scares the democrats who say, we have to run in that same election. you can win the white house if you get the biggest turnout, but what about us in the congress, the senate, do we lose? they're not going with the bern. they're staying with bide snoon one of the things that's interesting is when you look at the ages of candidates including president trump, everyone is in

their 70s with the exception of tulsi gabbard. yet we saw a few moments ago, the bernie bros or whatever, he manages to motivate the young people huchl do you explain his vote on the young vote in america? >> there's a couple of things. one, he's the anti-candidate. young people like anti-hero in movies. 's your old college professor that one you kind of like but maybe passed but told it like it is. the other thing is he has a great organization out there. he's pushing issues that connect with young people. health care for all. if you're trying to get a job with health care, it's tough for young people. eliminating college debt. things like that sell well with the younger crowd and they see him as sort of an icon. that's something biden is more -- one step at a sometime, that's not going to happen. that's a different demographic,

but he's getting younger voters too. >> what do you expect today? >> does the bernie surge continue? we're starting to see the brakes tapped on. he's still going to probably have more delegates than anybody el. what happens in california is key. the question is does bernie continue the surge and momentum? does biden bounce in, and does warren stay in and bloomberg stay in after tonight? and we won't know until it rolls into california. you'd better stay tuned. going to be a night. >> local measures, how do you see it going. >> history indicates they're doing well. we will see. there's a big bonlt on the state ball ballot. we'll see what the appetite is this time. it's sort of been overcast by this presidential primary, so we're going to see a lot of the turnout. we'll see what the turnout is. everything is still up in the air. i'd like to give you the answers right now, and then we would. have a game, right.

>> i know. but that's why you're here also. >> you make your bets in vegas on your own. >> he knows all, cease all, tells some. read his columns on wednesday and sunday and stay tuned for the live results. we'll have live coverage of the results on air, online, on your

a run across the country. we look at the mad rush. >> as you've probably seen on social media, cleaning supplies are in high demand with the risk of coronavirus in the bay area. what we're doing is going to a couple of different stores in south bay to see how empty these shelves are. our first stop brought us there. as you go through the store, you see plenty of store employees restocking the shelves, but you also do see some of those effects of the coronavirus as you can go through the cleaning section. you see many areas of the all-purpose cleaners all cleared out. some toilet paper left. not a whole lot. our second stop of the day brings us to costco where i've lived through a hurricane while living on the east coast. it looks a lot like that.

people are stocking up thiefrm not buying one case of watt every. they're buying several cases of water, several cases of water paper. to our third and final stop we go to safeway. we may have found our lucky location. looks like there's plenty of toilet paper, paper towel, and how about this, plenty of water, aquafina and arrowhead. it looks like many multi-purpose cleaners are available. we hit the walmart, costco, and safeway. safeway has got to be the winner. they were packed full of items. that may be the best opportunity to go in if you need to. reporting from south san jose, dustin dorsey, abc7 news. dustin goes back at 6:41 and

you'll see everything wiped out. that's the place. >> probably they go there for their groceries where costco, they go for supplies. >> to be honest, i've been washing my hands. i've not been stregss out. >> i'm bought extra groceries. >> land washing i. >> i do that a lot. my wife is stocking up on bulk item not in a panic mode but to be on the safe snide we try to anyway because of our earthquake kit. >> i'm was at costco and one of the store managers looked like the stampede. the past two days have been unbelievable. never seen anything like it. working hard. >> some people are taking advantage of the outbreak and trying to milwaukee a profit.

we choose to go to the and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. president kennedy knew settling for half-measures wasn't good enough. so when candidates say we can't guarantee health care for all, make college affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that america is best when we strive to do big things, even when it's hard. i'm bernie sanders and i approve this message.
